1. When carrying a passenger, a motorcycle takes:

Less time than usual to stop and speed up.

The same amount of time to stop and speed up as it usually does.

More time than usual to stop and speed up.

The more weight being carried by a motorcycle, the more time the motorcycle takes to accelerate and decelerate. Your motorcycle will respond to your commands more slowly when carrying a passenger than it will when you are the only person on the bike.

2. Mirrors on motorcycles:

Have blind spots, just like cars.

Do not have blind spots.

Are not required.

The mirrors of motorcycles have blind spots, just like those of cars. Always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

3. As you approach a blind intersection, you should:

Move into the part of the lane that allows other drivers to most easily see you.

Move into the part of the lane closest to the traffic control device.

Move into the outside edge of the lane.

When approaching a blind intersection, move into the portion of the lane that will bring you into any other driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment.

4. If you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

5. Passengers should:

Hold onto the rider's hips, waist, or belt.

Never hold onto the rider.

Not lean into any turn.

Before beginning your ride, tell your passenger to maintain a firm grasp on your hips, waist, or belt. If there are secure handholds for your passenger, they may also hold those.

6. Footrests:

May be shared by the driver and passenger

Are required for the driver and passenger

Are not required

Keep your feet firmly on the footrests for balance. The motorcycle should be equipped with passenger footrests. Firm footing prevents your passenger from falling off and pulling you off, too.
